Lucie and Luke Meier made a life change this year—maybe the biggest kind of life change. They had a baby girl in June. That kind of development can alter a designer’s perspective, and backstage they discussed their new point of view: “It’s about embracing a positive future,” Lucie said. “Yes,” interjected Luke, “kids are a material reminder that the future has to be better.”
In their four years at Jil Sander the Meiers haven’t often talked about emotions; in the past, at least, they’ve been more comfortable discussing the cut and line of their clothes. This season the cut and line were, at turns, boxy and oversize or lightly nipped . Those details are important, they’re what separate the grownups from the kids, after all; but they’re only part of why people shop for and buy fashion. In the end, it often comes down to emotion.
That’s what this Jil Sander collection felt: more connected to real life. Chalk that up to all the denim, which was cut loose and slouchy and in washes beyond basic indigo. Or chalk it up to the models’ mules and boots, which were chic yet still friendly, with, as a colleague put it, the attitude of a high-heel but the comfort of a low one. Either way it was believable and persuasive.
The starkest change since the last time the Meiers put a live show on the runway was the color palette. Fall 2020—a lifetime ago—was mostly black and white, with a flash of red. Here, they experimented with a range of pastels and brights, and added in some zebra print for good measure. The purple-ish tone of the overheads made the colors shift as the looks came down the long runway. “We’ve learned not to take things too seriously,” said Lucie.
This collection was fresh and captivating. Can't wait to see more from Jil Sander!
The colour mix perfect
What’s the unfinished thingie hanging out of the jacket? Very strange. Looks like she’s carrying a surveyors tape measure…..supposed to be a purse? Strange.
